Do such figures exist - US WWII era?

What kind of "wide-brimmed hats"? Montana hats (Boy Scout hats)?

Never heard of them before but here are some: https://www.ebay.com/itm/237a-sitting-girl-in-a-wide-brimmed-hat-white-metal-figure-1-43-/254138524793

Woodland Scenics makes some: https://www.westerndepot.com/product_info.php/cPath/21_503_673/products_id/43778

Preiser makes at least one set: 65367 TRANSITION ERA PASSENGER FIGURES

Specifically looking for something like this:

I'm thinking you could make the hat fairly easy you had a somewhat correct figure to start with.

Thin sheet rolled a little w/ blob putty on top.

Is that a sergent in uniform wearing a civilian hat?

It happens.

I don't have a specific answer, but try O gauge model railroad figures. Maybe Preiser. They should be pretty close.

Happy Modeling,

BOHICA!

Love it, that is my World of Tanks game name

I tried just that. Most O gauge stuff just looks a tad too toylike.
I finally found something on Shapeways that'll work. The guy on the right is perfect. The guy is the center is useful as well.

Looks like the same sculpt with 2 different heads.

Indeed, but opposite ends of the dio, and facing opposite directions. Anyone who notices won't be enjoying the excellent craftsmanship of my aircraft and ground vehicle builds.

Cool! Looking forward to seeing the build now!

I only have to finish my GMC 4X4 conversion from the Tamiya Refueler, and build this A-20B that I picked up yesterday at a swap meet in Denver. $40 kit for $10! Exactly what I was looking for.

I can smell that open sewer from here. Or maybe that's just memory from the bad old days.
